I'm feeling these weird thud-like sensations in my chest that are really making me uneasy. I've already had a Holter monitor, echo, ECG, and TMT done, all of which came back normal. What's my next step to address this issue?

Thud sounds in the chest can be concerning, even if your heart tests have come back normal. It's important to rule out any underlying issues. In this case, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. Beta-blockers can help reduce the sensation of thud sounds in the chest by slowing down the heart rate and reducing its workload. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I've noticed something odd with my heart rate. Even though I don't have any family history of heart disease and I'm generally healthy, my heart suddenly races from normal up to 127 to 170 bpm. This happens when I'm just resting or even asleep and can last for 5 to 15 minutes each time. It occurs about 2 to 5 times a day and I've been experiencing this since I was 7 years old. I'm starting to get a bit worried about it. What could be causing this?

u require echo test and a cardiologist opinion

My aunt had bypass surgery and is on Acitrom 2mg. The doctor warned that mixing other meds with Acitrom could cause serious side effects. Now another doctor prescribed Amifru 40mg for her leg pain. Will there be any issues if she takes both together?

no problem you can take.
